List item enhancement request

Hi David,

Is it possible to add List item to output?

My image is Stream Gate output.

It should be another component.

Thanks!

Hi Atsuo, i think this would be a big loss to the functionality of the listItem component, because i sometimes like to give it the indexes parametrically, wait another month until andrew heuman gifts us with the announced grasshopper goodies. There will be one component that allows you to feed a list into a component similar to the valueList component and then choose one specific item out of there. Cheers Alex

Hi Alex,

I am not sure it's big loss or not, but now I found that I can use cluster component for multiple List index out. So it's just small issue for me now.

Thanks!

It's actually a good idea to also output the previous and next items. Maybe hide it behind a variable parameter ZUI...

Your right, i admit i didn't think of that, guess that would be useful. But why get rid of the index input?

I wouldn't. Without an index input there'd be no concept of previous and next either.

This is how the new List Item component works: By default it looks and works the same as the existing one. But you can add and remove outputs to/from the top and bottom:

Resulting in:

I thought I'd keep it simple and not allow custom offsets. So if you want i+2 you'll also get i+1 whether you need it or not.

Awesome David! this gets a lot listshifting functionality out of the listitem comp. What happens if i expand to +2 and the collapse the +1 in zui? Does +2 stay or does it default back to +1?

You can only remove the outermost parameters. So if there's a +2, you won't be able to remove the +1 (as the image on the top shows).

Hi David,

This is exactly what I wanted.

I am little tired each time add index and get result.

Thanks.

oh i see, (or should have seen...) still very cool though, as shifting by 1 or -1 already does a lot for me. Really looking forward for the next build, cant wait for the patch component!
